[development] module names and namespaces

[Dave Cohen]

Yeah, don't get me wrong.  I'm not _trying_ to break fb_social or any other module.  But I did by accident.  :)

And I might break future fb_... modules if I don't know they exist.  Within modules/fb/ there are a number of modules named fb_something, and I'll create new ones as needed.
